The Story Behind Curried Fish

Curry arrived in the Solomon Islands through trade with Fiji and other Pacific neighbors. Solomon Islander cooks adapted it with their abundant coconut milk and fresh fish.

The resulting coconut curry is milder and creamier than its South Asian inspiration.

This fusion dish is now a regular feature of Solomon Islander home cooking.
